Yes, I thought that OQH, as the 12th A380, would be needed for QF127/128 A380 operations which are scheduled to commence tomorrow 19/12/19. However, QANTAS can skimp another day from the few days that an A380 is not needed for QF17/18 on Friday evening to Tuesday morning to operate QF127 tomorrow.
As you say Dennis, OQH is needed for one of the four A380 flights scheduled on Friday 20/12/19, the latest which departs as QF17 at 18:25.
QF1 departed yesterday and is scheduled to depart today so it looks as though OQH will be ferried back to SYD and not re-positioned to LHR to operate QF2. Therefore, she would need to leave DRS, via a refuelling stop, early afternoon local time tomorrow at the very latest to be here in time to operate QF17.
We'll see what happens between now and tomorrow afternoon.
